Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2020)

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to change how the world reads. At the beginning of the year we hit 1M paying subscribers (https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/28/scribd-1-million-subscribe...)! We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites.

Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with competitive salary and great benefits. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality, communication, and hacking skills than what languages and technologies you’ve used so far.

We are hiring software engineers across the board (see https://www.scribd.com/careers), including:

* The Content Engineering team is in need of both software engineers and senior software engineers, onsite in our new San Francisco office, onsite in our Toronto office, or remote within the United States. The Content Engineering team was newly formed with the dual mission to own and update Scribd's existing content metadata pipeline and build new metadata that can be used by the search, recommendations, data science, and frontend teams to build more useful and intelligent features. Experience with Rails, Spark, and SQL databases are a plus but not required. Excitement for the opportunity to scale our many data pipelines in support of Scribd's growth is required.

* The Search team is constantly striving to improve Search at Scribd in various dimensions - Quality, Relevance, Speed, Costs, Real-time indexing, Uptime, etc. We are looking for software engineers with experience working with Search systems. Experience with Elastic Search is a strong plus. (More details at https://jobs.lever.co/scribd/0de0db4b-971a-4d1d-ac90-9681f97...)

We have hired many people from these HN threads, including myself (back in 2012!). If you have specific questions you can reach out to me directly at adrian at scribd.com (I'm the Head of Technology and happy to answer questions related to our roles - recruiters/agencies: please do not contact me).

We're a london-based company (see our instagram @offworldlive / website https://offworld.live) and we have an alpha plugin for streaming 360 video from Unreal Engine while giving remote audiences realtime interactions with the virtual game world. In addition to the plugin we also often involved in providing realtime visualisations for live performances (music / art).

We're looking to hire a full time C++ developer to help us build the next iteration of our product.

We're very open-minded, but interest / experience in video compression / writing shaders in unreal / unreal c++ would be a big plus. However we will certainly consider somebody with good experience in a strongly-typed systems language (e.g C, Rust, Go, C# etc)

Our tech touches on a lot of interesting areas: render pipelines, shaders, video compression and games engines.

Ideally we are looking for somebody in the London area, but are very open to remote UK workers. The same goes for flexible working hours.

Due to our funding situation (we have been awarded an innovate uk grant) this position will run for at least a year.
